SICK Energetic Photoelectric Barrel Sensor, 10 mm to 400 mm Detection Range, PNP Output, IP67, Threaded Mount GRTE18S-P2449

SICK GRTE18S-P2449 Energetic Photoelectric Sensor is a compact, industrial-grade barrel sensor designed for use in automation and control systems. It emits a visible red LED light to detect objects at short to medium distances, with a sensing range from 10 mm to 400 mm. Operating from a DC power supply between 10 V and 30 V, it accommodates varied industrial voltage levels.

The sensor housing is made from ABS plastic, sealed to IP67 standards, providing excellent protection against dust and water ingress, suitable for demanding factory and machine environments. The threaded mount and 4-pin M12 connector enable reliable mechanical installation and secure electrical connections.

With a PNP switching output capable of sourcing up to 100mA (depending on conditions), the device integrates seamlessly with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for automation tasks including presence sensing, object counting, and sorting on conveyor lines, packaging inspection, and machine end-of-travel detection.

Its fast 1 ms response time supports high-speed object recognition, critical for modern manufacturing and system integration. On-site sensitivity can be tuned with a 270° potentiometer to adapt to varying surface reflectances, from dark to reflective targets. The sensor incorporates reverse-polarity and output overcurrent/short-circuit protections, enhancing operational reliability and reducing downtime risks.

Operating temperatures range from -25°C to 55°C with storage capability up to +70°C, enabling use in diverse environments. Compliance with CE and cULus certifications confirms adherence to relevant safety and quality standards.

Applications include factory automation for part presence sensing, pick-and-place systems, packaging inspection rigs, and small-part sorting in assembly stations. Manufactured in Malaysia, this sensor is a reliable choice for industrial, automation, manufacturing, and control gear applications.

The sensor features a visible red LED for precise target detection. It supports PNP switching output for straightforward PLC interfacing. Operates within a voltage supply range of 10 to 30 V DC. IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and water washdown.

Threaded mount design allows easy mechanical integration. Provides a fast response time of 1 ms suitable for high-speed detection. Includes a 270° potentiometer for on-site sensitivity adjustment. Operates reliably between -25°C to 55°C ambient temperatures.

Equipped with reverse-polarity and short-circuit protection for electrical fault safety. Certified with CE and cULus approvals ensuring compliance with industrial standards. Explore other high-quality sensors and automation products in EnvMart’s Electronics & Electricals Sensors category.
